The rivalry between the Blues and Tottenham Hotspur is a fiercest London derby rooted in half a century of clashes and contrasting fortunes. The heated era spiked in the 1970s with relegation battles, including a Spurs 2-0 Chelsea that contributed to Chelsea’s relegation. It reignited with the Chelsea’s League Cup triumph in 2015 and the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 2016. In recent years, the clash has featured title battles and memorable cup moments, including early 2017 meetings that interrupted winning runs.
